Services - Green

Green or Natural burial is a relatively new idea that is increasing in popularity. Nature has always intended that our bodies be reunited to the earth.

A Green burial is simple and natural. It embraces the natural cycle of life. Choosing a natural burial helps to renew our environment while providing friends and family with a meaningful ritual based on environmentally friendly choices. It is a statement of personal values that ensures the burial site remains as natural as possible in all respects. Interment is accomplished with a bio-degradable casket, shroud, or a favorite blanket. No embalming. No metal caskets. No concrete vaults.

At Providence Funeral Homes we believe in maintaining our environment. So we provide green burial choices and products as an alternative to cremation. Like cremation it does not take away the opportunity for the classic or contemporary funeral ceremony. It is simply another means of final disposition.

We would be pleased to discuss all your requirements for a Green or Natural funeral, so that you leave the earth on your own terms.
